You know you're a theatre geek when...

You correct people's pronunciation of Greek words from classical productions.

You can tell someone the origin of the term Scene

You can differentiate between house right and left and Stage right and left.

You practice slating as you walk the halls of your school.

lol, so true. It's hard for me to get a dying record, because I'm a short-ish, kind-looking girl (I'm a freshman.)
My record is:
-Killed once (neck snapped)
-Wounded (stabbed in chest)
-Expelled from Realm for Eternity (sucked into genie's lamp)

You know you're a theatre geek when...

- some falls off the wall on to somebody and you say "These things do happen" and walk away

- you're english class is reading Shakespeare and each time someone says something wrong you correct them without knowing you did

- you walk down a hall or a street "lalalaing" the most current song from a musical

I thought I was the only one! People thought I was weird because I could tell from where in the UK each of the actors was from. Uncle George was from Wales, no doubt about it. The father was definately from northern England. Probably eastern. Not quite liverpool, but close. Hopefully you know what I''m talking about.

Oh, I''m always the b***h. The b***h who dies, appearantly. I''ve got a growing record.
-Extra in "Quilters": Died in a fire
-Katie in "Bang-Bang, You''re Dead": Shot through the heart
-Oko` in "Sky of Kyo": Run through with a katana (not before kicking much samurai a**)
-Mrs. Rogers in "And Then There Were None": Poisoned in her Sleep (in January ''06)

I''ve got a good record going, but I''m still 2 or 3 behind a friend of mine whose been in too many Shakespeare plays to count. She was Lady MacScottishPlay, too, so that''s gotta count for something. Or does she die? I''ve never touched that script. I need to get over it.

Nice record. Yes, Lady M. dies in the Scottish Play, but it happens off stage. As a matter of fact, my death (having my neck snapped), happened during a very interesting fight choreography in a gender-flipped version of the Scottish Play. It was wonderful... *sighs remembering good old days*

that is so true! i was in my history class and we started talking about the Halucaust when i randomly started laughing. i didn't know why i was laughing and then i realized i did it each time my teacher said Hitler. my teacher asked me what was so funny about the subject so i took out my cd case and put the The Producers soundtrack on the computer and played Springtime For Hitler. i didn't get in trouble and i made my class laugh too!

~ You come home one night to realise you'd forgotten what your house really looked like inside.

~ If someone names a show that they are interested in seeing, you can automatically name the theatre and tell them were to sit and were not to sit to see everything.

~ Everyone hates you in your Theatre as a Business class because when the teacher askes who a certian random theatre person is, you KNOW and are the first one to raise there hand. (That's a more personal one for me)

~ You love getting the craziest opening night gifts! Like boxes of candy or... balloon animals...

~ Then someone tells you to yoke a light, you know they are not talking about making eggs.

~You cringe everytime someones about to open a can of Rosco paint.

~You can rattle off all the names and numbers of the gels you have in storage.

~When you can name at least 10 plays that are not movies musicals~
~you giggle whenever anyone says elbows (he he he)~
~when your computer is full of pics and themes from your favorite shows...coughcough~
~you customize EVERYTHING you own with a theme from your favorite shows~
~when your theatre/rehersal/crew trousers or jeans really should be in the bin but you simply can't throw them out because every tear tells a story~

xd YES!! LOL!

=) My boyfriend was an actor when I first fell in love with him (I was a techie). All of the actors had to [eventually] learn how to put on their own make-up, so he knew how to... Funny how I NEVER wear make-up, and I don't really even know HOW... and he had to on a daily basis, lol.

And also funny how guys in theatre are usually labeled as homosexual... My boyfriend's family used to think he was gay cause he loves theatre... but lo and behold, he got a girlfriend who loves theatre too. heart me.

~When you are in drama one class and your teacher explains about the parts of the stage you draw a stage and label the sections the correct way and then with your group's names for the different places
~When after above project you play simon says to move to whatever part of the stage is named and you get there first every time without thinking.
